What a great song. I had been fascinated by The Streets for a while and every song that I have heard has had an important message that dusts away the confusion in my head. Today I heard this song and I had chills running up spine, really.

"For billions of years since the outset of time Every single one of your ancestors survived Every single person on your mum and dad's sides successfully looked after and passed onto you life What are the chances of that, like?"

This hit me hard. I sat there just imagining all of those people who lived their lives and passed down their knowledge, happiness, sadness and wisdom so that I could be alive and well. How could I waste this gift? It is a powerful saying and the thoughts that are unleashed by those simple words are profound.

We are all unique and blessed in a sense that our ancestors survived to allow us to be. What are the chances of that! Please go and tell folks this. Repeat these great profound words to those depressed and troubled. :)
